Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A safety ski binding particularly designed to hold the toe of a ski boot properly connected with a ski while automatically releasing the ski boot when required.
  • the binding includes a pivot whose axis is perpendicular to the upper surface of the ski in at least one position of the pivot.
  • a swing member is swingable about the pivot and carries a toe clamp for engaging the toe of a boot.
  • a spring assembly coacts with the pivot and the swing member to yieldably resist swinging of the latter about the pivot axis from a central neutral position.
  • the spring assembly acts in such a way as to increase the resistance to turning of the swing member from its neutral position only through a predetermined initial angular increment. When the swing member turns beyond the latter increment, the spring assembly does not provide any additional resistance to turning of the swing member.
  • the present invention relates to skiis.
  • the present invention relates to safety bindings for skiis.
  • the present invention relates to'safety bindings to be used at the toe portion of a ski boot for holding the boot connected to the ski during normal operations while permitting the boot to free itself from the ski under conditions such as when the skier takes a fall.
  • safety devices which include, for example, a spring assembly composed of a horizontal sleeve extending longitudinally of the ski and having a compressed coil spring acting on a piston which is slidable in the sleeve.
  • This construction is designed so that the piston rests on a piston seat with the spring opposing-swinging movement between the sleeve and piston seat.
  • This construction is exemplified, for example, by the disclosure in the German Auslegeschrift 1,201,737.
  • This known construction for releasably clamping the toe portion of a boot to a ski brings about upon swinging between the sleeve and piston seat an opposing force which will return the front clamp back to its initial position for again receiving a ski boot after release of the ski boot upon swinging outwardly as, for example, in the case of a fall.
  • this known construction has a serious disadvantage of opposing the swinging of the ski boot to its release position with a force which continuously increases as the extent of displacement of the ski boot from its initial position increases.
  • the extent to which the coil spring is compressed so as to achieve the opposing force becomes increasingly greater with an increasing extent of swing of the clamp from its normal clamping position.
  • the swinging of the ski boot until it is released by the front clamp requires a force which is at a maximum just before the actual release, since the greatest opposing moment is achieved with the compressed coil spring just prior to actual release of the boot.
  • the particular coil spring which is selected must fulfill two conflicting requirements.
  • the coil spring must on one hand have a certain strength so that it is capable of reliably holding the boot properly connected with the ski during normal travel. in other words, the spring must not be so weak that it will permit the ski boot to shift laterally in its binding upon encountering relatively light impacts. Such an arrangement would result in a feeling of insecurity for the skier.
  • the safety ski binding includes at the upper surface of a ski a pivot means which has a pivot axis extending perpendicularly with respect to the upper surface of the ski at least in one position of the pivot means.
  • a swing member is supported by the pivot means for swinging movement about this pivot axis, and it is this swing member which carries the toe clamp which is adapted to engage the toe of vthe ski boot.
  • a pair of spring means of the invention are symmetrically arranged with respect to the pivot axis and coact on the one hand with the pivot means and on the other hand with the swing member for yieldably resisting swinging movement of the latter beyond a central normal position.
  • the spring means of the invention will provide an increasing resistance to swinging of the swing member beyond its normal central position only through a predetermined initial increment of swinging of the swing member beyond its initial normal position.
  • the spring means of the invention provides no further resistance so that with the invention it is not required that the force resisting turning of the swing member to its release position constantly increase up to the instant of release of the ski boot.

  • the embodiment of the front safety ski binding of the I invention which is illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a swing member 1 which is supported for swinging movement by a pivot means which is carried by the ski which is fragmentarily illustrated.
  • the pivot means which supports the swing member for swinging movement includes a pivot pin 2 which in at least one position has a pivot axis which is perpendicular to the upper surface of the ski.
  • the pivot pin 2 of the pivot means is formed with a pair of opposed flat parallel side surfaces 3 which define portions of a pair of opposed side recesses which are respectively directed toward the opposed longitudinal side edges of the ski. These flat side surfaces 3 are situated inwardly of the outer circumferential surface of the pin 2.
  • the pair of flat side surfaces 3 are interconnected by circumferentially extending exterior surfaces of the pin 2 which form in section arcs of a circle. These circumferentially extending convexly curved surfaces interconnecting the flat surfaces 3 are also situated inwardly of the outer circumferential surfaces of the pin 2 above and below the flat surfaces 3. The transition from the flat surfaces 3 to the convexly curved interconnecting surfaces is somewhat rounded.
  • the swing member 1 has a pair of transversely extending bores or openings 4 and this swing member 1 is itself symmetrically situated on the pivot means formed by the pin 2.In the openings 4 are a pair of coil compression springs 5. These springs press at their inner ends against a pair of washers 6 which thus are pressed by the pair of springs 5 against the flat surfaces 3. At their outer ends, the pair of compression springs 5 compress against washers 7 which in turn press against adjusting screws 8.
  • the assembly of springs 5 and washers 6 and 7 form a pair of spring means symmetrically arranged with respect to the pivot axis and coacting on the one hand with the pivot means and on the other hand with the swing member for resisting turning movement of the latter from its central normal position, as will be apparent from the description which follows.
  • the screws 8 are threaded into the bores 4 and themselves have inner recesses receiving the washers 7.
  • Both the washers 7 and the washers 6 have axially extending projections surrounded by the end convolutions of the coil springs.
  • each washer 6 is of a noncircular configuration at its outer periphery.
  • each washer 6 is provided with a pair of opposed flat parallel surfaces 9 and 9' which extend parallel to the upper surface of the ski.
  • the pin 2 is formed at the recesses thereof which are defined in part by the flat surfaces 3 with upper and lower flat guide surfaces also extending parallel to the upper surface of the ski and slidably engaging the surfaces 9 and 9'.
  • each washer has in engagement with the flat surface 3 of the pin 2 a pair of elongated flat end surface regions 10 and 10' which extend longitudinally perpendicularly with respect to the upper surface of the ski. Between these surfaces 10 and 10' of each washer which bear against a corresponding surface 3 of the pin 2, each washer is formed with a vertically extending groove 11 extending perpendicularly with respect to the upper surface of the ski throughout the entire height of the washer.
  • Each groove 1 1 is substantially of a semicircular cross-section and has a radius which is smaller than the radius of the pin 2.
  • each washer 6 is of an extremely great advantage.
  • the bearing surfaces 10 and 10' will coact with a corresponding surface 3 of the pin 2 in order to compress the coil spring 5 to achieve a turning moment opposing the turning of the swing member 1 from its normal central position and returning the swing member 1 back to its normal central position as long as the bearing surfaces 10 and 10' remain in engagement with the surface 3.
  • the groove 11 enables the swing member 1 to turn all the way up to its position releasing the ski boot without any increase in the opposition to this turning once the surface 10 or 10' has moved beyond the surface 3.
  • FIG. 3 schematically illustrates that position of the swing member which occurs just after the swing member has moved beyond the initial increment so that the grooves 11 permit the continued turning of the swing'member to its release position without any increased resistance.
  • the toe clamp can be returned from its release position by hand again to its central normal position for receiving the boot.
  • the swing member 1 fixedly carries the front clamp 12 which engages the sole of the boot.
  • This sole-engaging clamp member 12 has at its central region a pair of pointed projections 13 which become pressed into the front end surface of the sole of the ski boot and prevent an undesired lateral shifting of the boot.
  • This front clamp 12 can be fixed to the swing member 1 by suitable screws, for example, and in this case the clamp 12 can be provided with elongated openings which will permit an elevational adjustment of the clamp so that it will become best adapted to the particular sole with which it is used.
  • the pivot means 2 is fixed to aplate element 14 which is hinged to a second plate 16 by way of a transversely extending hinge pin 15 providing for the plate 14 swinging movement about a transverse horizontal axis coinciding with the axis of the hinge pin 15.

  • the swingable plate 14 which carries the pivot means 2 is connected with the hinge pin 15 in such a way that when the plate 14 is parallel to the upper surface of the ski it is spaced from this upper surface by a distance corresponding to the thickness of a boot-engaging plate 18 which extends beneath and is connected with the swingable plate 14.
  • the plate 18 may advantageously be provided with a conventional heel clamp which automatically engages and disengages with the heel of the boot, in a well-known manner.
  • known devices are provided so that during downhill runs the boot-engaging plate 18 or the automatically releasable heel clamp are connected with the upper surface of the ski.
  • the ski boot is held by the heel clamp only on the swingable plate 18 which is connected with the plate 14, so that an unhindered swinging movement of the ski boot about the axis of the hinge pin 15 longitudinally of the ski is possible to provide a natural ski operation in any direction, either up or down.
  • the sleeve portion 17 through which the hinge pin 15 extends forms part of the plate 16 which is fixed with the upper surface of the ski, the pivot 2 moving with respect to the sleeve 17 during swinging of the plate 14 about the hinge pin 15. It is also possible, of course, and often of advantage to make the central sleeve portion 17 part of the plate 14 so that in this case the pair of outer and sleeve portions through which the pin 15 extends would form part of the plate 16 rather than part of the plate 14. It is the former construction which is illustrated in FIG. 1. Thus, instead of the particular construction shown in FIG.

  • This latter construction is of a certain advantage because the pivot means 2 in this case could directly engage the intermediate sleeve 17 at all times, and since there would be no relative movement between the intermediate sleeve 17 and the pin 2, these components could, for example, be welded to each other.

  • the capability of yieldable resilient movement of the clamp longitudinally of the ski is furthermore of advantage with respect to the release of the boot during a fall, since this possibility of the clamp to move forwardly as well as the possibility of lateral swinging movement enhances the capability of the boot to be releasedfrom the binding in an extremely effective manner when encountering unaccustomed drops.
